CHICAGO, Sept. 13 (U. P)— The five operating railroad brotherhoods today accused the railroads of “distorting the truth” regarding wages paid their employees as Dr. William Leiserson of the National Mediation Board continued his at-

tempts to avert a threatened strike over the Brotherhoeds’ demand for a 20 per cent wage increase. Mr. Leiserson met with the brotherhoods this morning and 8 spokesman for the railway executives said “we are standing by for a telephone call as to whether he wants to meet with us again this afternoon.” | The five brotherhoods, representing approximately 300,000 operating employees, have threatened a nation-wide strike unless wage increases totaling approximately $110,000,000 gre granted. The railA the increase and Mr. Leiserson is attempting to effect a compromise.

ST. LOUIS, ‘Sept. 13 (U. P)— Terming action of the American Newspaper Guild in joining the

tion a “stab in the back” to free trade and unionism, William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, today announced a drive to unionize the nation’s editorial workers. [i “We have decided to act in the interests of the vast majority of the newspaper workers in this country to help preserve the freedom of the American press,” Mr. Green said.

A. not to participate in a strike at the Spicer Manufacturing Co. plant, called for this morning by the Mechanics Educational Society of America, an independent labor group. :

PLANES COLLIDE, _ FOUR ARE KILLED

SOUTH BEND, Sept. 13 (U. P.) — The pilot of a sightseeing airplane and his three passengers were killed last night in a midair collision with another plane over Bendix Field. Passengers in the second plane escaped with slight injuries. Witnesses said they believed the pilot of the larger plane circled the field without seeing a smaller ship piloted by Charles Selge, 19, transport pilot for the Indiana Air Service Corp. 1 The planes struck almost head-on. The left wing of the passenger ship, owned by Lloyd Butz, 29, Mishawaka, was sheared off, and tangled in the left wing of Mr. Selge’s ship. Witnesses disagreed whether Mr. Butz was in control of his plane at the time, or whether he had handed

We must consider our failures and correct them.” “In view of Japan’s present relation to the League and her action in China,” the Chinese appeal said, “the Chinese Government holds without prejudice for continuing the validity of the binding effect of all decisions hitherto taken by the assembly and council in the Sino-Jap-

anese conflict,” but Article XVII of

the covenant also is applicable.” This indicated that China, while making a new appeal, intends to insist that the advisory committee of 23, of which the United States is a member, resume its work. Backed by Russia, the Lolayists assert that the Mediterranean agreement concluded at Nyon, near here, Saturday, gives “pirate” submarines—Jtalian, the Loyalists assert—complete liberty to sink ships of Loyalist registry with or without warning. Embarrassed by the Spanish-Rus-sian stand, leaders of the Mediterranean conference nevertheless determined to rush through to its final stage — the formal signing — the agreement they had concluded. They awaited only the replies of the Italian and Russian Governments. Italy, not represented at the conference, was expected to decline the invitation to participate in the “antipirate” submarine patrol which the French and British navies are to conduct. In connection with the Chinese appeal, the League received yesterday copies of the statement of July 16 in which Secretary of State Hull stated the view of the United States Government on foreign problems. This statement, issued when the real seriousness of the ChineseJapanese conflict became apparent, said “There can be no serious hostilities anywhere in the world which will not in one way or another affect interests or rights or obligaions of this country.” It urged peace, self restraint, abstinence from force, observance of treaties, mutual respect for national rights. Comment on the statement was invited from foreign powers. Replies of the powers were sent to the League, along with Secretary Hull's statement, “for information.”

Pirate Sub Reported Trapped Off Spain

MADRID, Sept. 13 <(U. P.).— Loyalist deep sea divers were reported working feverishly today to release the crew of a “pirate” submarine trapped at the bottom of the Mediterranean off the Cartagena Naval base. Government officials refused to confirm or deny the report, circulated by the Febus (Spanish) News Agency, but it was known that attaches of the Cartagena Naval Base had been investigating oil pools on the sea surface since Friday.

Italy’s Hopes Get League Blow; | China Seeks U. S. Aid in Protest

St., was fined $5 and costs on speeding charge. Arthur Eberhardt, 3861 Bryan Ave., paid $5 fine, costs suspended, for failing to stop for preferential street. Earl Sears, 56, of 3114 ‘Ralston Ave., was recovering in City Hospital today from, shoulder injuries re-

possible from the Shanghai area, an official statement said today, leaving the coastal region to the invading Japanese. The withdrawal long has been urged by China’s German military advisers.

The Chinese came the closest to throwing in the towel since the start of the Shanghai hostilities in a carefully-worded statement by the military spokesman.

The statement maintained dignity and “face” but made it clear that the Chinese stand would be made in the interior, west of Shanghai, where positions have been prepared in the lake region.

The statement was made shortly after Mme. Chiang Kai-shek’s appeal to the world by radio and her castigation of foreign powers for failing to save China from the Japanese attempt to bring her to her knees. The statement indicated that, while the undeclared war of 1937 was not over, the Chinese planned to get out of range of the devastating Japanese naval artillery in the Whangpoo and Yangtze rivers. The stateemnt declined to recognize the Shanghai lines as defensive positions but described them as “outposts.” It was issued on the same day on which China appealed to the League of Nations, the day after Mme. Chiang Kai-shek’s appeal to the world, and one month after -the fighting started at Shanghai. The statement coincided with a general Japanese attack which paled any activity of the month's battle for Shanghai. The Chinese forces took terrific punishment and the destruction of property was staggering.

F. D. R. Hears Gloomy Foreign Reports

HYDE PARK, N. Y., Sept. 13 (U.

Indications were that he might cancel his tentative plans for a western trip later this month for the same reason that he shortened his stay

ceived yesterday afternoon when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver at 30th and Ralston Sts. Terry Chastine, 31, of 1615 Madison Ave., Apt. 48, received scalp wounds when his car struck a safety zone post at Meridian and Washington Sts. last night. He was treated at the City Hospital. - Maurice Mendenhall, 45, of 5525 N.

Favor Moving Traffic Court to City Hall

Mayor Boetcher today said he would favor using the City Council chambers for a separate city traffic court. City officials for some time have considered removing the traffic

here—the acute international situation. Norman H. Davis, U. S. ambassa-dor-at-large to Europe, and James A. Moffett, oil company executive familiar with the Orient, were Rodsevelt’s guests aboard the yacht Potomac yesterday. : “1 don’t see anything promising in the situation,” Mr. Davis said In regard to Europe. He said he would go to Washington in several days from his Massachusetts home, but that he had no plan for going abroad again soon. Mr. Moffett, who is chairman of the board of the California-Texas Oil Co. the foreign operations branch of Standard Oil, made the long-range prediction that Japan would finally conquer all of North China south of Shanghai.

Food and Colonies Worry Hitler

NUREMBERG, Germany, Sept. 13 (U. P.).—Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and his Nazis, their voices strained from a week of speeches and cheers, left for their every day tasks today after an unusual talk by the Feuhrer on foreign affairs and Germany’s desire for peace. Hitler spoke most earnestly of the food problem and of the need for colonies. But here again, he said that he thought the colonial problem would be solved one way or another just as the problem of German equality of rights had been solved. It was not a question of peace or war, he said, but only of common sense. He added that he was one of those people who believed in common sense. Of the colonial problem, Hitler said that Europe would not settle down until the colonial problem was settled. It was absolutely impossible that Germany should nof have her own colonies, he said. He asserted that Germany had a moral right to the colonies she lost in the World War.

I ocal Civil War Veteran Puts Mound Into Pages of History

For years Virginia War battle site.

They had an explanation today because James G. Clark, 1127 Eugene St., 92-year-old Civil War veteran, had paid the park a visit. Mr. Clark, who fought with the “Irish Brigade” of Hancock’s Sec-

ond Corps, was being shown through the Petersburg, Va., battleground by a guide. He didn’t recognize much of the landscape because time has wrought a change in the country. When the tour of the park had been completed, the veteran asked the guide: “It’s all very interesting and I have enjoyed the tour. But there’s

| one thing I remember vividly. It’s

those blazing hot September days I spent digging a railway cut with a pick and shovel somewhere east of town. Do you think you can find that for me?”

The guide asked Mr. Clark to describe the site. Finally he remembered the mysterious mound of dirt.

The two men took an automobile and drove to the site. Mr. Clark left the car and climbed the hill, “Yes, this is it,” said Mr. Clark. “This is what?” asked the guide. “Why, it's the place we made the cut for - General. Grant’s Railroad. This hill is where we piled the dirt,” the veteran replied. The guide wanted to know why the dirt had been thrown only on one side of the old railroad. “We did it that way to protect workmen from Confederate batteries and to conceal the movement of trains,” Mr. Clark explained. Historians made a note of it for future history books.

State Reports 16 New Cases Of Paralysis

Sixteen new infantile paralysis cases which developed in Indiana during the last two weeks were reported today to Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health Board director. Eight or nine of this number were

stricken last week, Dr. Harvey said.

He said these figures indicated

‘no “significant change” in the state

situation. Eleven new cases were reported last Monday. An outbreak of six new cases in Geneva apd Berne, Adams County {owns, however, resulted in a special investigation by Health Board authorities last week, Dr, Harvey said. Investigators reported that the ¢ases had been isolated and no furspread of the disease was anticipated there, according to Dr. Harvey. Other cases were scattered throughout the state, with two each being reported in Washington and Delaware Counties. Lake County, which also had been under special surveillance owing to its proximity to the Chicago epidemic, reported no new cases, Dr. Harvey said. :

fluential in party affairs. This may lead, in time, to a clash with Mr. Hoover as the situation develops toward 1940 and another Presie dential election.

Two Questions Raised

For the ex-President certainly ine tends to keep his finger in the pie, He has groups all over the coune try. Still staunch Hooverties, with whom he keeps constantly in cone tact and as a perpetual unofficial observer in Washington he has the faithful Larry Richey, his former White House secretary. His persistent activity raises the questions: Is Mr. Hoover himself seeking the 1940 nomination? Or is his interest purely impere sonal, to overthrow the New. Deal which he abhors and return Repube

_|licans to power?

Eager for Vindication

Deep-seated in Herbert Hoover is a desire for vindication which seems to be an all-absorbing impulse.

and, in and out of season, appears to keep political affairs uppermost in his attention. In January, 1936, he began a single-handed campaign against the New Deal which he continued up to the election, even though his party passed him by. And, according to well-founded inferences, Mr. Hoover entertained a hope that his party finally would turn to him last year, for after his speech béfore the convention whan a chant “We Want Hoover” swept through the hall, did he not postpone his departure from Cleveland and wait, expectantly—only to ses the Landon machine turn buiskly to its business and do its foreordained job? : ; Does that hope still burn in his soul and does that explain his cone stant.fever of activity?

—to take Miss Cooper’s place, new difficulties arose. : Three southern beauties—“Miss Augusta,” “Miss Savannah Beach” and “Miss Jacksonville’—charged that their fiscal agent had disap= peared with $800 given him by their parents to pay for their clothing and transportation. The man, whose name was With= held, was sought by Atlantic City and Philadelphia police on a felony, warrant. : Miss Cooper departed while ree porters, photographers, contest ofe ficials and spectators waited at the Steel Pier for her to appear. Hep father, Le Brun Cooper, explained: “This work is too strenuous for Bette. She is not the type of girl to appear in vaudeville. Her mother and I want her to finish school first to get polished off, then do somee

thing that isn’t strenuous, likg modeling magazine covers.” .
